Aqua Necromancer is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. It is one of his first releases to use sampled beats. Door Open at 8 am is from the same sessions, but samples jazz instead of progressive rock.
The title track samples "Aquarian" and "Necromancer", two songs from Van der Graaf Generator's The Aerosol Grey Machine. Other artists sampled include Soft Machine, Le Orme, Patto, Fusioon, and Formula 3. Masami Akita intended "... to create Southern European atmosphere by using Italian and Spanish progressive rock".
The photos were taken at the Hy?keikan building of the Tokyo National Museum and at the National Museum of Nature and Science, both located in Ueno Park.
